🛍👝👜👛🏖 How has travelling changed? Twenty years ago, traveling was very different. Most people booked their trips through travel agencies, and online booking was not common. Today, we can book flights, hotels, and tours with just a few clicks on our phones or computers. It’s much faster and easier. Back then, people used paper maps and guidebooks. Now, we use GPS and travel apps for directions and recommendations. Communication was also harder. There were no smartphones or free Wi-Fi, so travelers had to find payphones or send postcards. Today, we can call, text, or share photos instantly. Flights have also become cheaper and more available. Low-cost airlines have made international travel possible for more people. Also, travel has become more comfortable, with better transport, more options, and improved services. In short, technology and lower prices have made traveling easier, faster, and more comfortable compared to 20 years ago.

✨ Durga Puja: The Heartbeat of Bengali Culture ✨ When the autumn breeze carries the faint scent of 'shiuli' flowers and the sky turns crystal blue, every Bengali heart knows — 'Maa' (Goddess Durga) is coming home. 🌸✨ Durga Puja is not just a festival; it’s an emotion woven into the very soul of Bengal. From the rhythmic beats of the *dhaak* to the sparkle of lights in every lane, from the first glimpse of *Ma Durga*’s face to the joy of 'pushpanjali' and 'bhog' (prasad), the air hums with devotion, artistry, and togetherness. It’s the time when families reunite, friends wander pandals till dawn, and even strangers smile like long-lost kin. *Adda*, laughter, new clothes, sweets, and songs — everything comes alive under Maa’s divine gaze. 💫 Durga Puja celebrates more than the victory of good over evil — it celebrates **life itself**. It reminds us of the strength of womanhood, the beauty of community, and the eternal rhythm of creation and renewal. As the 'dhunuchi' smoke swirls and Maa's face glows with radiance, may every heart be filled with love, courage, and hope. ❤️ **Subho Durga Puja! *May Maa Durga bless us all with joy, peace, and endless shakti. 🌺🙏

💰💰💰 Money can change people in many ways, both positive and negative. Some people become more confident and generous when they earn more money. They may use their wealth to help others, support charities, or invest in their communities. Financial security can also reduce stress and allow people to enjoy life more. However, money can also have negative effects. Some individuals become arrogant or selfish once they gain wealth. They might start to look down on others who have less or become obsessed with material things. In some cases, money creates a sense of power and control, which can damage relationships. Friends or family may feel ignored or used. Money can also bring pressure. People may worry about losing their wealth or feel the need to maintain a certain lifestyle. This stress can lead to unhealthy decisions. In short, money itself is not good or bad — it depends on how a person handles it. Character and values play a big role in whether money brings out the best or worst in someone.

What's the most important lesson you learned in college?

This week was really busy but exciting. I went to the gym a few times and worked hard on my muscles. I’m trying to get stronger and more confident. Every time I finish a workout, I feel tired but proud of myself. After that, I also worked part-time. My job isn’t always easy, but I like the people there and it feels good to earn my own money. I also went to the dentist this week. I don’t really like going there, but it’s important to take care of my teeth. Luckily, it wasn’t painful this time. Another big thing I did was beard removal. It hurt a little, but I’m happy because my face looks cleaner now. Oh, and the biggest change—I dyed my hair blond! It looks so different, but I actually love it. At first, I was nervous, but now I feel like a new person. When I looked in the mirror, I almost didn’t recognize myself. Overall, this week was full of changes and effort. I trained my body, worked hard, took care of myself, and tried something new. I feel more confident and motivated for the next week.

Lately, I have been watching a lot of underground idol groups. The underground idol culture in Japan is very unique and interesting, and It has an impact on Idol culture of overseas, such as Korean, China and so on... One of the best things is the “call” that fans shout during the live shows. For example, " Tiger Fire Cyber Fiver Diver Viver". It is really fun to learn them and shout together with other fans. I feel very excited and happy when I do. I also like the idols’ cute dress. Each girl wears a costume that matches her personality or atmosphere. and they all look so lovely and cutey. Watching them and their costume makes me feel relaxed and also increase motivation!!! For me, idols are not only singers or dancers, but aoso they give me energy and make my daily life brighter. When I feel tired or sad, watching their videos always cheers me up. Among the many groups, I especially recommend "iLiFE" They are very cute and 9 members. and their performances are easy to enjoy even for beginners. Their songs are fun, and they are very very cute and coll... You can watch their live shows on YouTube, so please check out their performance!! Have a nice day🎶
